Artist talk with Core Ensemble’s featured actor, Shinnerrie Jackson, as she discusses this dynamic chamber music theatre performance celebrating the life and times of four powerful African American women: renowned novelist and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, ex-slave and fiery abolitionist Sojourner Truth, exuberant folk artist Clementine Hunter, and fervent civil rights worker Fannie Lou Hamer. With a musical score drawn from the heart-felt spirituals and blues of the Deep South, the urban exuberance from the Jazz Age, and concert music by African American composers.
The full recording of this production will not be aired during the artist talk. It is recommended to watch this performance before the event.
A question and answer period with the lead actor will conclude the program.
